a rare BBCThree gem...
ive been waiting for the next generation of comedy to break through for a while now. the office is over, alan partridge has gone and the boosh are on the way out (i think) but BBC three has been pretty weak so far.
if anyone has seen "clone" you will know what im talking about. however, this is a little gem that BBC three have found. while not the greatest comedy ever, it is actually very watchable. i just watched the first 3 episodes back to back.
ok so 'Don' is somewhere between david brent and vince noir and it isnt the cleaverest comedy ever there are actually so really funny moments, a few laugh out loud moments also.
its quite safe most the time, but then theres a few darker jokes (most of the kid stuff on the camping episode) and just when you think its very standard and samey a line is thrown in that just makes you laugh out loud (i know its wrong but the line "i think nature is gonna come in my tent and rape me" gets me laughing)
so not a revolution for comedy and not quite the new kid on the block, but much improvement from most of the bbc comedy output for a while, and hopefully it will lead to better and bigger things
